Reducing the frequency of sample block creation

Reduce the number of sample blocks processed by the PingDataMetrics server.

About this task

By default, the monitored servers produce a new block of samples every 30 seconds. Increasing this to 60 seconds, while reducing the PingDataMetrics server’s polling rate to 60 seconds, reduces the sample processing overhead.

Steps

  • To change the frequency at which the monitored servers create sample blocks, run the following dsconfig command:

    $ bin/dsconfig set-backend-prop --backend-name metrics \
  --set sample-flush-interval:60s
